CityCenter Openings
Perini Building Company is proud of its leading role in the
construction of CityCenter, an unprecedented urban 67-acre
metropolis and joint venture between MGM MIRAGE (NYSE: MGM) and
Infinity World Development Corp, a subsidiary of Dubai World.
CityCenter will feature ARIA, a 61-story, 4,004-room gaming
resort; luxury non-gaming hotels including Las Vegas' first
Mandarin Oriental and Vdara Hotel & Spa; Veer Towers, the
development's only strictly residential buildings; and Crystals,
a 500,000-square-foot retail and entertainment district. Vdara,
Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas and Veer Towers will include
approximately 2,400 residences total. Additionally, The Harmon,
a 400-room luxury boutique hotel, is slated to open at
CityCenter in late 2010.
CityCenter is a design collaboration between MGM MIRAGE and
eight internationally acclaimed architectural firms including
Pelli Clarke Pelli, Kohn Pedersen Fox, Helmut Jahn, RV
Architecture LLC led by Rafael Vinoly, Foster + Partners*,
Studio Daniel Libeskind*, David Rockwell and Rockwell Group, and
Gensler. At the forefront of sustainability, CityCenter will be
one of the world's largest green developments. ARIA and Vdara
are the first Las Vegas hotels to achieve LEED Gold
certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. Crystals also
has received LEED Gold certification, making it the world's
largest retail district to receive this level of recognition.
CityCenter's remaining venues are poised to receive a
combination of LEED Gold and Silver ratings. As a result of its
efforts at CityCenter and other projects throughout the U.S.,
Perini Building Company was ranked #2 in Engineering
News-Record's most recent rankings of Top 100 Green Contractors
(based on revenues from registered sustainable projects).
